Inhibins, activins and follistatin in reproduction [PDF]
The regulation of reproductive processes involves a complex network of communication systems between the brain, endocrine organs, the gonads and other reproductive tissues. Classically, our understanding has focused on the role of endocrine hormones, but more recently interest has also dwelt on the paracrine and autocrine regulation of these cell ...

Comparison of the effects of two types of resistance training on the serum levels of factors involved in muscular hypertrophy in healthy young men [PDF]
Background and Purpose: Myostatin and follistatin are key proteins in muscle tissue regulation, growth, and hypertrophy. This study aimed to investigate the effects of two types of resistance training on the serum levels of myostatin and follistatin and ...

Glucocorticoids transcriptionally activate LCN2 expression via GR nuclear translocation. Secreted LCN2 binds MMP9 to degrade skeletal muscle ECM collagen, blocks integrin‐mediated mechanotransduction, bidirectionally disrupts muscle protein homeostasis, and reveals a novel target for steroid‐induced muscle atrophy.

Follistatin Protein Enhances Satellite Cell Counts in Reinnervated Muscle
Background Muscle recovery following peripheral nerve repair is sup-optimal. Follistatin (FST), a potent muscle stimulant, enhances muscle size and satellite cell counts following reinnervation when administered as recombinant FST DNA via viral vectors ...
